I get rid most of my BEMANI games!

Just recently, I decided to sell my video games that I have. All of them are BEMANI games and controllers for PlayStation 1 and 2.

My complete BEMANI games before

The reason why I started selling it off because I find it now a burden aside from it eats space in our house, I feel like I already outgrew them.

Days gone by, only a few games were sold. I just realize that it is easier to collect games than selling it off. Suddenly, I decided to keep the remaining beatmania 5 keys games and the unsold beatmaniaIIDX games. 

It doesn't mean I am selling them out, I no longer have the urge to play BEMANI games. I still play games at arcades and I am planning to continue to play games at home using KONAMI's Konsute service. Where you can play BEMANI games using PC with a monthly subscription.

Right now, I sold almost half of the games and hopefully I would be able to sell them out.

Sony's cheapest True Wireless Stereo I bought!

Two days ago, I decided to buy a new bluetooth earphones because AirPods 2nd generation is already busted. The right ear is no longer working and the left ear won't last too long. I was thinking to get the beats solo buds which costs around 4,500.00 pesos, the cheapest, while the Sony WF-C500 is 4,990.00 pesos at Power Mac Center.

So I decided to visit the Sony Store at SM Megamall. They are already selling the newest and cheapest TWS devices, the WF-C510. Fortunately, they are having a sale of their audio devices.  From their retail price of 3,990.00 to 2,990.00 pesos.

I bought the white variant

When I tried the device, they have the same feeling as using an AirPods Pro without the ANC feature. The earbuds is also lightweight and pocketable. It has a multi-point feature that you can connect to other devices without manually connecting it. The case of the Sony C510 can charge the earbuds when not in use unlike the beats solo buds, it doesn't charge. Also, it can tweak the settings by downloading the Sony Connect app.

For me, the Sony C510 is a good alternative for budget sensitive consumers without compromising important features of a TWS.

Yamanote line Train melody!

 Earlier this afternoon, after having a lunch in Ikea beside the SM Mall Of Asia complex, I had the chance to visit the Gashapon store inside SM MOA. I was thinking if I can snagged a Nissan GTR key keychain. When I was looking at the Gashapon, I stumbled a very familiar item that was recently selling like pancakes in Japan, the Yamanote line Train melody!!!

At first, I thought that was available, unfortunately, it wasn't. I had no choice but to rush to their Mitsukoshi branch to get it. Fortunately, their Gashapon is still full. I was able to snagged a Shinkuju and Shibuya train melody. The Gashapon costs 5 tokens (65.00Php/token). The sound really reminds me of Yamanote line!

I am hopeful that the PlayStation Gashapon would be available in PH soon.

A friend of mine will get the Shibuya melody by the way.
